Guitar Lessons in South West London.

Hello there,

My name is Paul Rooney have been teaching for over 10 years and have a proven track record of taking people from basics to band level.

I have been playing electric and acoustic guitar for over 20 years. For the last 10 years I have been teaching private individuals in South London and several of my pupils have become successful in the music industry including bands The Maccabees and members of The Kooks. I studied guitar at Guitar Academy Of Music in London and passed with flying colours.

You want to play just for fun ? Thats great..Whether you are a total novice or someone already playing that requires inspiration or advanced techniques I can help you achieve your goals and will guarantee results.

What I do

I teach Acoustic, and Electric guitar and I can show you the basics from how to tune your guitar right up to playing rhythm and lead guitar in a band.

I offer guitar lessons to total beginners, intermediate level and to people of all ages in a friendly, comfortable manner. The emphasis will be on practical playing - no music reading necessary. I prefer to teach your favourite songs rather than boring formulas or scale theory.

I do specialise in Rock, Pop, Indie and Blues guitar and can also show you the basics of Jazz and Classical. If you would like to learn lead guitar techniques, no problem ! Fingerpicking and many rhythm and strumming styles also covered.

I will tailor your guitar lesson to your individual needs and can help you play confidently and enjoyably in a relaxed environment.
